I think The Evil Dead was the only film in the whole series Iโ€™d heard of.

Arsenal look tired. Great result assuming they hold on to the lead, but the trip to Villa looks daunting on Saturday. #Arsenal

Donโ€™t know if this works, but if it does itโ€™s a victimless crime.

Yesterday me and my daughter wanted to book cinema tickets but they only had three left together other than in the first row. Wouldnโ€™t let us book two so we went to a later showing at a different cinema. Itโ€™s a ridiculous rule.

This was responsible for so many unknown treasures: Jackie Chan, Hershel Gordon Lewis, John Waters, Sam Raimi, George Romero.

I donโ€™t do Spotify but my Apple Replay for the year is basically just loads of Roxy Music

That link says there is a two day hearing in November, so presumably thatโ€™s either happened or been moved?

I once contacted my local council to ask why there was no bus service where I lived. They replied that the area I lived in was too โ€˜upper classโ€™ for a bus service. It was a Barrett homes new build estate of one and two bed houses and flats.

Itโ€™s very useful for bigots that you can separate people into the categories of: cis girls = non harassers, trans girls = harassers. Makes it much easier to determine where the threats lie.

Gutted; just found out that Stand By Me is showing at the cinema in 15 minutes time and I canโ€™t go. One night only. The greatest movie Iโ€™ve ever seen, and Iโ€™ve never seen it on a big screen. โ˜น๏ธ

It was only about a week ago that he seemed to be enthralled by the Saudi crown princeโ€™s ability to make a problem go away by cutting someone into pieces.

The proliferation of streaming as the only way to watch or listen to something will lead to a lot more โ€˜Mandela effectโ€™ findings in the future, thatโ€™s for sure.

BTW, Dolly definitely had braces.

I guess so, although Iโ€™d rather hear alternate version as extras.

One of the oddest is reinserting things that were missed out of the original recordings. For example, on The Doors first album they censored the word high from the line โ€˜she gets highโ€™, but reinstated it 50 years later. No oneโ€™s ever heard that version before but now itโ€™s the โ€˜officialโ€™ version.

If you havenโ€™t seen this itโ€™s interesting to play โ€˜which one is Alan Mooreโ€™

A couple of the others are doing something similar

Just received an application for an IT role from someone whose experience looked a little suspicious. Checked out their LinkedIn profile, still suspicious. Checked their profile photo against an AI checker and it came back with a 100% probability that the picture is AI created.

14 yo sent me a text while I was asleep saying โ€˜donโ€™t use the bread, itโ€™s mouldyโ€™.

I wonder whether it ever crossed his mind to throw the bread away? Or is that exclusively a parent job? ๐Ÿ˜‚

Intriguing, although annoying, because I feel like they should have got it right the first time.

I *loved* Radiohead, saw them several times, the last one being the Oxford South Park show after Amnesiac came out. One of the best live shows Iโ€™ve ever seen.

But every album since leaves me cold. Just canโ€™t get into them, and Iโ€™ve tried and tried.

These pictures show two MRI scans, one on the knee and one on the head. Iโ€™m not going to tell you which is which; see if you can guess.

I had an MRI on my knee. They told me not to move my knee; they put padding around it. They put me in feet first and only as far as they needed to.

Thereโ€™s no way you can have an MRI scan and not know which bit of you itโ€™s on.

01.12.2025 00:07 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 5    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 0    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

You canโ€™t have an MRI and not know what they were looking at, they have to pad the area they are getting the image of and they give you specific instructions not to move it. And they donโ€™t put your whole body in, just the bit they need.

Was convinced it was headed for 10 v 10.

A decent result. Chelsea are a good side and they played well, even with 10 players. Arsenal looked a bit tired.

Cucurella, both arms round Masueke, pulls him to the ground. Anthony Taylor, looking right at it โ€œplay onโ€. 2 seconds later, slight touch on a Chelsea player โ€œfoulโ€.

I had free school meals at primary school but never knew.

So that Zubimendi tackle is worse than the Cucurella one on Saka, is it? #ARSCHE
